What does /sci/ think of a full central nervous system and head transplant for a human?

I made a thread a week or two ago about Dr. Robert White's successful head transplants in the rhesus monkey, IIRC the monkeys in his later experiments were capable of breathing on their own, and could survive indefinitely with immunosuppressive therapy.

The issue of paralysis wouldn't be there in a full CNS transplant, as the PNS can regrow (just as in limb transplant).
